The Truth About Cars website posted a retrospective and opinion on the war of tweets between Elon Musk and the New York Times, Who Lost The Total Tesla Twitter War? An After Action Report
Note that members of this forum were part of the battle as some of the Model S owners here set out to recreate Broder's drive and were acknowledged by both Musk and the New York Times.
Below is a compilation of some key tweets and retweets by Elon Musk made during the seven days between when he alleged the NY Times article was fake and accepting Public Editor, Margaret Sullivan's response admitting that the reporter used poor judgment.
The @TeslaRoadTrip recreation organized by members of the TeslaMotorsClub forum is mentioned three times in Musk's Twitter stream. At one point he retweets the conclusion of @LawrenceChanin who said "The driving public is the winner thanks to the efforts of these intrepid owners."

@elonmusk:
NYTimes article about Tesla range in cold is fake. Vehicle logs tell true story that he didn't actually charge to max & took a long detour.
@elonmusk:
Tesla blog coming soon detailing what actually happened on Broder's NYTimes "range test". Also lining up other journalists to do same drive.
